I'm not really into Madge, but she's got some brains. She's not incredibly talented or beautiful- but she's definately got a great balance of a lot of things which makes her a brilliant entertainer. She's constantly reinventing herself and gaining diverse legions of fans, so I have to applaud her efforts - especially for her body which is in great shape.

In defense of H&M, why make high quality trendy stuff that will be out of style next year? I'm not going to get trend du jour at Saks though some do and I don't know why. Remember prairie skirts? Cowboy boots? Wooden hippie bracelets? Flared jeans? Ultra ultra ultra low jeans? That's stuff people get at H&M. It is cheap and it's cheaply made. Wear it this season and throw it out.
In defense of Madonna, how is she "selling out"? Madonna is the most pop musician of the last 2 decades. Her songs were in gap ads. She sang a song for Evita. You people make it seem like she was from some elite group of emo or punk rock musicians. She's doing EXACTLY what successful pop stars are doing except she's twice the average pop star's age and she's better than them. Madonna is hardly going broke and she doesn't need to do these ads, so perhaps it's a PR thing or supposed to boost concert sales, esp in Europe.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHATEVER04...you are soo right, she is a sell out, she is trying way to hard to make money, shes washed out and old, air brushed and wearing H&M clothes...I HATE THAT STORE ITS SOO CHEAP, cant she do better...i love the old school Madonna, the young and full of life...all i see now is an old women airbrushed to hell trying to sell an image that is not working!!!

Ya, I love Madonna. Great entertainer and business woman ... I have a lot of admiration for her and she has really transformed into a role model as well as an inspiration for kids out there today- especially the ones in the theater and arts. Her daughter is stunning, I can only imagine how beautiful she will be in about 10 years.
